Hi all,
just got a parking light bulb warning up on dash on my 3.0d facelift, should both front clear parking lights be on or just the off side?
cheers

Both.  'Parking lights' are the sidelights in the UK.  If side lights are selected you should have lights at all four corners.

my side lights I presume are in the indicator lenses?

If it's a facelift with projector headlights / angel eyes, i guess it will be the front marker light, are they yellow in colour, or a white light.

ah, pretty sure the zenon things are working ok but when I put it in park and turn engine off then I have one light on the os lit white in the indicator and nothing on the ns....yep its facelift 2005

A lot of German cars have the capability to just have either the n/s or O/s parking lights working indipendantly by leaving the indicator stork left in the indicator position when the car is parked, also I believe that if the front sidelight bulb blows, the indicator bulb is utilised to provide marking lights.
Turn on the sidelights only on the switch and see if the angel eyes, and rear sidelights light up as they should.

thanks Horizon/guys, will take a look and eliminate in the morning

so, I have found that the Halo's are both out on the off side headlight. I brought some brighter led bulbs for them some time ago but having looked I havent got a clue how to fit them...any ideas???
cheers.

........You tubed a fitting guide and hey presto, two new white light LED Halo bulb's fitted in under 3 minutes !
Working great,warning message gone and they look soooo much brighter and cooler than the original yellow Halo colour.
cheers all!
